#TBT Solvay featured on “Cool Schools” SU Biology event visit

Students from the Solvay Union Free School District recently stopped by Syracuse University for the bi-annual Biology Apprenticeship Evening. A total of 21 eighth and ninth-grade students attended the event, which aimed to introduce students to the STEM field of biology. At the event, Solvay students were able to meet with current undergrads at SU, who worked as mentors for the day and assisted the students in doing hands-on experiments in a university lab.

In addition to the experiments, SU instructors led the Solvay students on a tour of the campus laboratories and the greenhouse in the Life Sciences Building. Solvay students also spent their time on campus learning about fish embryos and live zebra fish, in an effort to learn more about genetics.
